TJ Walker breaks criticism into two buckets: valid feedback you can act on, like speaking too fast or bad lighting, and personal attacks you can ignore. Sorting them this way removes the emotional sting and lets you evaluate objectively.

When it comes to your presentations and speeches and online videos, remember, there are only two types of criticism. The first form is valid. It's legitimate criticism. If someone says you're speaking too quickly or your lighting's too dark, they can't see you, you need to hear that, you need to react, you need to make changes and improvement. It's helpful. There's a second type of criticism. Things like TJ your eyes are too beady. Your hair is too bad. Personal attacks. These are things we can't do anything about. And they're just not valid because I already know my eyes aren't as beady as Dr. Phil's. I have more hair than Dr. Phil, so I can just ignore that and laugh it off. Once you realize all your criticism can go in these two pots, it takes the sting away and you can watch it, read it, listen to it objectively.
